Authentic Omakase Experience

Tradition Meets Innovation

Founded in 2015, UMI brings authentic Edomae sushi to Manhattan's culinary scene. Our name, meaning "ocean" in Japanese, reflects our commitment to sourcing the finest seafood from Japan's pristine waters.

Chef Hiro Tanaka trained under master sushi chefs in Tokyo's Tsukiji market before bringing his expertise to New York. Each piece of sushi at UMI reflects centuries of tradition combined with modern culinary artistry.

Our intimate 10-seat counter provides an immersive dining experience where guests can watch Chef Tanaka's precise knife work and learn about the seasonal ingredients that define our omakase menu.
